    Looks good to me, Im running 285/75/16 BFG KM2's 35psi in the front and 36psi in the rear, both chalk lines were the same.

    And finally today i did the hose clamp mod for the tailgate for a bit of piece of mind

    And added an FJ TOYOTA emblem to the grill that i sanded down and painted satin black to match the lower center portion of the bumper

    thats all for now, I still have to paint the radiator black to blend behind the grill, and sand/repaint the lower center of the bumper to get rid of the rock chips, will post pics as i finish.

    Well I traded in the Tacoma on a 2011 4Runner Trail edition with the KDSS supension. Sad to see the truck go but so far i love the 4Runner, it rides great. Still gonna be around tacoma world for the general info and random BS though.
